3M 7010308255 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2.81x3 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010308255 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for stock removal and metal finishing on stationary belt grinders and finishing machines. It uses a blend of 3M ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing, delivering faster cut rates and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 2.81 inches in length by 3 inches in width and runs at 80 grit. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, and the belt can be run dry or with a lubricant depending on the application. A built-in grinding aid manages heat buildup when working stainless steel or other heat-sensitive metals.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It performs well in high-pressure belt grinding setups where a standard aluminum oxide belt would wear prematurely. The heavyweight cloth backing maintains dimensional stability under load, making it a practical choice for production environments where belt changes reduce throughput. Metalworking shops, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical end users for this product.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend cuts faster and outlasts traditional aluminum oxide belts
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Can be run wet or dry, compatible with common grinding lubricants
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for extended belt life
• Higher parts-per-belt yield reduces changeover frequency in production settings

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 2.81 inch by 3 inch abrasive belt. Confirm machine belt-size specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the belt grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension per machine specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and discard any belt showing visible defects.
